It is ESPN that makes Norman Chad, Sam Smith, or any other of their lackeys known beyond the citiies in which they write. How else could someone as sheisty as Chad become a sports-household name? Additionally, remember the "investigative" series on sex and pro athletes? Remember that Baron Davis, whose interview was aired during the ESPN piece, was told by ESPN that the piece was "satirical..." Davis complained bitterly that he was misled by ESPN reps, and filed a formal complaint with the NBA (from the New Orleans Times-Picayune). Bet you never heard anything about that on ESPN. All said, Dan Patrick doesn't have to use Sam Smith as his mouthpiece, and the producers of the ESPN Draft Show don't need Peter Vescey to rumor-monger, or use Jim, "The Human Oil Slick" Gray, to make non-observations during NBA games ------------ But ESPN does, which speaks volumes about the integrity of the "Worldwide Mis-leader in Sports."

Smith border on racism. Not only are his comments generally astute, but he "represents" AfFrican Americans quite well -- the derogatory "ebonics" comment above notwithstanding. Some folks have a problem with African Americans "sounding" African Americans. But he, Cornel West and others "talking the talk" is refreshing. Get over it.
